RealmObject AND Parcelable

I’m new to Realm for Android so I’m not sure I’m approaching this the right way. I have a class which looks like this:

public class Entry extends RealmObject implements Parcelable {
    ...
}

JavaScript
​x
 
public class Entry extends RealmObject implements Parcelable {    ...}​

The problem is the Parcelable interface contains methods like describeContents() writeToParcel() and RealmObjects aren’t supposed to have methods other than getters and setters:

Error:(81, 17) error: Only getters and setters should be defined in model classes

JavaScript
 
Error:(81, 17) error: Only getters and setters should be defined in model classes​

So my question is: How can I make these two work together? Is there a better way than creating an separate class (maybe something like RealmEntry)? Doing so would result in a lot of duplicated code…

Answer

Now there’s a different workaround for that: just implement the RealmModel interface instead of extending from RealmObject:

@RealmClass
public class User implements RealmModel {

}

JavaScript
 
@RealmClasspublic class User implements RealmModel {​}​

You can find more information in the Realm Documentation.
